  title: Descriptor content addressing
  statement: Descriptor snapshots used in portable invocation records shall be
    content-addressed by DASL CID. Local-only ephemeral descriptor references
    may use other immutable mechanisms, but any descriptor snapshot exported,
    replicated, signed, used in a portable invocation record, or verified across
    implementations shall be represented as a descriptor snapshot encoded as
    DRISL and identified by a DASL CID.
  rationale: Invocation traces need exact configuration identity.
  verification: Invocation records reference descriptor snapshot CIDs for portable
    traces. Mutating descriptor configuration produces a new descriptor snapshot
    CID.
